Hello everyone! I'm new - MOH in my best friend's wedding. Have been very active with planning, and have recently been getting some requests from guests. They say they don't want to "bother the bride" which is fine! I'm here to be the buffer. But some of the guests are requesting a cash bar. I've searched the forums, which have all stated cash bars are tacky, rude, etc. But they are having a dry wedding, as their budget doesn't allot for more than the non-alcoholic beverages they're already providing.
So, before I talk with the bride and groom, what do you guys think? Cash bars are pretty much the norm in our area; and other guests I've talked to (their families make up the largest part of the list, and are all on board) with having a cash bar. Would this still be considered rude?
